Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
The follow-up to the enormously successful SOME HEARTS, former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's second album moves away from the Shania Twain-like pop influences of her debut into a purer form of country music that focuses on her remarkable voice. Comparisons to Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire,and Faith Hill are valid, especially on songs like the twangy first single "So Small." That song is one of four co-written by Underwood; the remaining three are among the strongest on the album, alongside a heartfelt cover of Randy Travis's "I Told You So" and the wry "The More Boys I Meet." CARNIVAL RIDE is a much more self-assured and personal album than SOME HEARTS, and it's a straightforward slice of contemporary Nashville country at its best.

Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.197)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "CARNIVAL RIDE is more country and therefore more confident..."

Entertainment Weekly (p.64)
- "CARNIVAL RIDES covers its bases impeccably, from the roof-raising opener 'Flat on the Floor' to the gorgeous, torchy ballad 'I Know You Won't' and the already massive anthem 'So Small.'" -- Grade: B

Blender (Magazine)
(p.150)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[H]er big crystalline voice still sounds best belting out tearful showstoppers, such as 'I Know You Won't'..."

3 of 5 To Much Band Sunday, December 07, 2008
Vickie from Albion  
Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice. In this album I found that her band was just to loud. It was like she was shouting sometimes. What a shame, as she doesn'nt need all of that. Her voice is her gift and she should let it shine though and put a muzzle on that loud band.

5 of 5 amazing, yet again Wednesday, November 28, 2007
A Listener from wheeling, wv  
i loved carrie's first cd, so i decided to take a chance and buy her new one. well, i'm happy i did. i LOVE this cd! i have a few favorite songs that i've played to death already. the funny thing is that i don't even like country, but carrie has somehow brought the genre to me in a new light. i would definitely recommend this cd to anyone, especially if they liked her first one.
